Yeah - Pederson clearly wants athleticism to pull and move second level more than he wants road graders 

And that is frustrating to a fan base that knows a legacy of smash mouth road graders breaking a gap open for backs like MJD and Fred to work their own magic at the second level. 

We have to shift our expectations in that regard. He's not going to build a line with 4 or 5 of those guys in it. 
We're gonna see creative ZBS stuff and lots of moving parts. 

Which ultimately - I think will be fine once they find a more reliable Center and plug in a real starter at LG whether that is Little or Ezra. 

This year - short term - We can be good enough by getting Little or Ezra at LG and having the other as depth for a run. Upgrading from Shatley/Bartch level play at an interior spot should make a tangible difference. Then at least your weak link Center has capable starters on either side to mitigate his errors a bit.

CAM, Little, (Blank), Ezra, Harrison.  

And we figure out the center.  And you pay CAM and line up payments for Little and Harrison.  Ezra needs to sing for his supper over the season and a half.  The O-Line must keep our Franchise QB safe.  You don't go cheap on QB protection if you want you QB to make it past 2030.  

We locked up good WRs, but Lawrence is so accurate that we could probably find WRs that Trevor will make look great.  Trevor throws balls right into dude's hands.  The important thing is to give him time.  Focus on the O-Line.
